Another List

I borrowed these questions from a site I was at today for the first time, so because I am bored and do not have a lot to say today, I thought I'd use it here:

1. If you could build a second house anywhere, where would it be?
I haven't built the first one yet, but I'd like it to be close to my parents, possibly somewhere in Baton Rouge, LA.

2. What are your favorite articles of clothing?
I love to wear a lot of things, but I really love jeans and cute jackets.

3. The last CD you bought?
mr. ralph bought it for me, the new Sarah McLachlan CD.

4. What time do you wake up in the morning?
Around 5:00 am on most mornings, if it is just to make a pitt stop and lock my cat out of my room so I can sleep for 30 more minutes.

5. What is your favorite kitchen appliance?
Our kitchen is pretty boring and basic, I like my microwave.

6. If you could play an instrument, what would it be?
hmmm. I have no idea on this one. Probably the guitar.

7. What's your favorite color?
Teal

8. Which vehicle do you prefer, sports car, motorcycle, or SUV?
Sports car, but I really don't worry about this much.

9. Do you believe in the afterlife?
Yes sometimes.

10. Favorite children's book?
When I was young I read a lot, but nothing is standing out. I really enjoyed The Velveteen Rabbit. It still makes me cry.

11. What is your favorite season?
Spring, no doubt.

12. If you have a tattoo, what is it?
I have a butterfly on my left leg just above the ankle.

13. If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
The ability to magically make new clothes appear? Sound silly, but it would be a great power.

14. Can you juggle?
No way in hell.

15. Someone from your past that you wish you could go back and talk with?
My Grandpa. The good one.

16. What is under your bed?
So much stuff! Boxes, suitcases, shoes. We have a small place.

17. What is your favorite day?
Probably Saturdays.

18. Sushi or hamburger?
Probably both, but I eat more hamburger.

Hmm. Argy?

Nearest Distant Shore

21. What is your favorite flower?
Tulips!

22. What is your favorite meal?
I love food. Can't you tell? But I love fresh prawns with garlic sauce. MMmm.

23. Describe your pjs.
I sleep in t-shirts and boxer shorts or just a tank and the undies. Nothing exciting.

24. Favorite Breakfast?
My most favorite breakfast is the one my mom makes, with homemade southern biscuits, grits, eggs, and some gravy.

25. Do you like your job?
On some days I do, but lately I'd say no.

26. What is your dream job?
To be able to write and make good money doing it.

27. What age do you plan to retire?
I've never thought about that one. Probably when I am around 70.

28. Where did you meet your spouse or significant other?
On Lambda moo, but in the flesh we met in the New Orleans Airport. It was a magical day.

29. Something you would like to do that you have never done before.
Travel through Europe with unlimited funds.

i kind of want to hang out and let argy go first - but i haven't checked your site for so long that i can't help but ramble a bit. Oh - you are so close to goal that you must be able to taste it. I think dropping to 18 points is a good trick for your body - eat heaps of free foods on your 12 day - egg white omelettes and stuff - i know you can do it because you have come so far. What ARE grits? I have wondered that for ages......

Grits are heavenly food. You can get Instant Grits in the store. Here is how I recommend you eat them:

1. Make a package of instant grits in the microwave.

2. Fry them in a pan so they get nice and lumpy, with a thick consistency.

3. Fry up a couple of eggs, over easy, and put them on top of the grits in a bowl.

Enjoy! The grits sop up the egg yolks like bread, and it tastes wonderful. :)

I like this list, someone sent it to me the other day by email (you know, where you fill it in first then pass it on) and we were like "you can play the piano?" heh. Always good to get insight into people - thanks for sharing.

You'd love the new jacket I'm wearing today - it's teal, in a very fine cord :)

I stay offline one day and I miss my chance to stand up to my reputation...shite! lol

I love these lists, I always think of doing one of my own after I read yours but then I am not sure why I keep procrastinating them!

I love teal too...and I have no idea what grits are either!

But they sound yummy!

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Unbelievable results

You may have noticed that I changed the 70 to the left to 71. I don't know how it happened, but I actually gained weight this week. What is happening to me? I don't know what is going on, but the scale did say 71 two days in a row. Yes, I am at the end of my TOM and that could contribute to some of it, but a whole kilo? I looked at my calorie count from this week and I went over 1500 only 2 days, Friday and Saturday. Although I did much better this weekend than last, I still struggled with eating more on my off days than during the week. Another reason I had a horrific week was the heat. We had 4 days of over 40C in a row. Now that is just wrong. I can't handle heat very well. I did go for a walk on Saturday and when I came home thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion. Not good at all. I almost declared this week a no-weigh week due to my TOM but have decided to take it as it comes. So I weigh 71 today. Excuse my language but that number really scares the ...
